Bad Messenger draketrain 95	Posted - 2012.01.06 18:36:00 - [1] - Quote You have to remember when you analyse group of people who play game that this part of people does not represent whole human population, it is selected group of those who want to play games. World has lot of people who are not willing to use their time on games. My theory about people who plays computer games, more than casually, have some sort of phase in their life when they are not willing to face real world fully, maybe they have some problems in there. Reasons can be various and if we start to think ourself why we play we can find some little or some bigger reasons why we want to use time on playing. So basically if you try to achieve something in EVE you have to remember that people are 1. playing only game for fun and are not willing to use too much time on those. 2. are people who have real life problems and are not possibly the best human material you can get, this is usually group who are willing to play a lot. So those who play most needs a simple way to play and strategies has been evolved such in eve, people have fleets who are following order from FC, and fleet are so big that it does not matter if 50% or more fail to do command on time. Player skills hardly matter in there, anyone who can eat food from plate and answer a phone when it rings can do that. I know that my thoughts can make someone angry because i claim that people who play EVE are somehow retards, but that is not what i try to say, People might be normal people but they have a phase on their life when they are stuck on games, and when that phase goes over they are normal people. Example: let say you long time girl friend left you, and now you are depressed and play game in home and drink some beer, i bet you can not focus 100% on games or anything else because you are still recovering mentally. Couple weeks maybe and you have get over and you start to live your life again fully and get new girl friend etc...

My theory: most crack-pot, unfalsifiable theories about others are simply people expressing what scares them into denial when they look in the mirror. I am sick man and never be able to do work etc anymore, there is nothing denial on that, i have lot of time to play when waiting my life to come to end. Some other people maybe do not have so serious problems.

Actually most people play eve because they are trying to reach a goal that they have set for themselves. It is not so much that playing is fun for long periods of time, it is that building an idea and aspiring to a set goal for the duration is fun and/or rewarding. This brings out qualities in said individuals that can be observed if you are paying close enough attention.

Funny, I seem to see allot of married folks with allot of time on their hands which directly contradicts your assertions. I have to 'lol' here, dude. To try and work out why most people do what they do would take a lifetime and then some to work out. I bet if you did a straw poll on a random 200 people on the 4-4 undock in Jita and asked them why they play EVE, I will guess most do it because they can do things in EVE they couldn't do in real life. You cannot in anyway shape or form look at a select group of people and from that determine why they do anything. It's just not possible. Take myself for example, I play EVE for competition from others that doesn't require waking up a stupid times (Alliance CTA's don't count) or spending a million hours training (I have a job and a life God damn it!). But I also play because I get to ** in someone's cheerios and ruin their day (Hi White Noise \o/ ). I also set goals for myself from time to time (Capitals was my last goal). However, the main reason I play EVE and the one thing you have totally overlooked? I have made friends here. I have my corp mates and alliance buddies that I think very highly of (even the damn Goat trolls ) and there have been a lot of times I've logged in, ship spun and just chatted for hours on TS/Mumble. EVE has what I think just about every other game really lacks, a seriously kickass community. I love all EVE players from all corps/alliances for making this game so damn awesome every single day, in a strictly platonic, brosef kind of way. TL;DR People are people and there are a million different reasons why people do what people do, do, do....**, when does this stop? My question now is, why you want to make new friends in internet games when there is real life too? I've made couple friends in EVE too and meet those irl too but i still do not think those are same kind of friends than you make in irl. You can get rid of internet friend just by logging off, but doing that is much harder on real world.

I understand that it is better to take couple beer at home and chat with EVE friends than go to pub and do the same. I bet your wife is more happier when you are at home. Still it is phase on life where you are stuck in computer games, because it is just easier that way to ignore real world options.
